I figured that they had a different annual pass program, and that's why Knott's is offering it. It's a nice pipe dream to think that Disney might offer something as generous.
It looks like Knott's is doing the same as Disney. Extending AP's by the number of days they are closed.
There are no best guesses. The not-best-guesses seem to be June, August, September, October, or next May. Everything is wait and see, but the COVID timeline seems to be getting pushed out further and further. I’ve heard of some college professors being told to prepare for online classes for the fall semester, and if there is no NFL in the fall, that is telling too. Places of mass gathering will likely to open last, which would include universities, concerts, live theater, stadiums—and theme parks. I would say that the later you can push your trip, the more likely you are to actually get to go, but no guarantees on any date before 2022, probably.
That was from March 20th. They just announced today they are extending them until the end of next year.
I'm not a business person, but it seems like a smart set up. Knott's knows by April how many passholders they have for the year, and it's completely up to consumers to decide on the timing of when they should purchase. There's no benefit in waiting since all passes expire at the same time.I figured that they had a different annual pass program, and that's why Knott's is offering it
Moving your post to the DLR Closure Superthread -- it might help other international travelers facing a similar dilemma!
You, too? lol... I decided to indulge in some middle of the night baking to relieve stress. The neighbors will be waking up to find fresh baked banana bread on their porches. Let us know if/when you find out any AP news!I know it won't be up yet, but the tidbits from those I've seen report back on various social media outlets that further information regarding AP options will be available today (4/5) has me obsessively checking for updates at 5am in the morning because my sleep schedule is all screwed up.
The truth is, we have no idea what will happen or when it will happen. I am on the monthly AP payments for Disneyland and am planning on taking the refund and not having my pass extended. No idea when they will open or how much money I'll have when they do open. After 911, the prices for APs was super low. They knew that people wouldn't want to fly and they targeted locals. That's when we started buying our APs. While I don't expect them to offer $99. APs again, they may offer something pretty amazing. Again, since I am self employed, I could be out of business and on the street by that time and Disneyland won't even be on the list of possibilities for me. Point being, what they are offering now could change drastically. Don't give up the dream!I figured that they had a different annual pass program, and that's why Knott's is offering it

Saaaammmeee. Except I've been falling asleep at 9pm out of boredom lol. Which then causes me to wake up at 6am and can't go back to sleep because I am fully rested. lol Who knew quarantine was the way to get a full 9 hours of sleep
Unless they cancel your flight you’re at their mercy. Not a good place to be. They cancelled my flight and rebooked me. When I said that’s unacceptable and I want a refund they tried to make me pay a redeposit fee or accept that I had to use the miles within a year. I filed a DoT complaint and showed my correspondence via DM on Twitter as proof. A week or so later I got a call from UA and got my miles back.
I haven't seen much info, just everyone is confused when we are supposed to choose the option. One thing I am worried about: my last pass payment was in February (it's always the 2nd of the month). Didn't have one in March, because I am assuming it's because that was the month it initially expired. In this case, I will just get an extension correct? My pass is already extended in the app, I'm just scared they will change it like they did with the multi-ticket rules during the closure. All of these different options are confusing me.Social media posts are, of course, giving varied info based on getting varied info from CMs.
Some have said they were able to go ahead and choose an option (some even said they got a third option to continue payments as normal). Others have said it's just a note in your account and they will go back later when the function is available to officially give you the option you picked. Also some have been told whatever you choose, you can't change your mind later. Waived payments/no extension is being assumed the default by some CMs. Some saying you have to call to get the postponed payments/extended pass, others saying an online option will be available.
I haven't seen any official update about this change yet announced. No email, nothing anywhere. Only the updated language on the information page that contradicts the email that was sent out and the physical letters some have gotten recently.
So basically: no idea. I am worried they may put a deadline on this, but hopeful we'll get enough warning if they do. I don't expire until December so I've got time to wait to call, but it would be nice to have an online option so I don't have to call and clog the system. Also reading reports that CMs are sounding very stressed on the phone. They must be getting thousands of calls
Also watching to see if I get refunded or not for my 3/31 payment. If that goes through I will definitely be calling immediately as I want to make sure I get the postponed with extension option.
